voltage imbalance on the web, or material to be neutralized, then transmits
this information to the static neutralizing power supply. The power supply
makes incremental changes to the balance setting until downstream charges
are minimized.
•
Manual
- Allows manual control of the ion balance. Manual mode includes
voltage regulation and current monitoring found in the standard mode, plus
manual control of the ion balance ratio. This mode of operation would
only be selected where the web, or material to be neutralized, exhibited
extreme and consistent charging of one polarity.
Mounting Distance
: A user editable dimension, the spacing between the face of the
bar and web (surface being neutralized / measured). The factory default mounting
distance for neutralizing bars is 4” (100 mm) for a speed type bar, 6” (150 mm) for
a hybrid type bar and 12” (300 mm) for a distance type bar. The factory default
mounting distance for sensor bars is 4” (100 mm). This is only used in the Auto-
Tune mode.
NOTE
– This information (Mounting Distance) MUST be correct. It is
used by the static neutralizing bar when in Auto-Tune mode and used by the
static sensor bar for calibration. If this information is not correct, the static
bar may not operate properly when in the Auto-Tune mode or the static sensor bar
may report incorrect web voltages.
Web Speed
: A user entered value used in the Auto-Tune mode.
Device Address
: The Power Supply Number (address / device number) assigned
to the BPS. The address may be edited, but duplicate address numbers are not
permitted. The exception to this rule is static sensor bars. When a static sensor bar
is connected to a BPS (PS COMM 2) the static sensor bar will automatically be
assigned the same address number as the BPS. On the Control Station, the static
sensor bar data will appear as a tab under the BPS and it will automatically be paired
with that BPS for CLFB operation.
Sensor Quantity
: The number of sensors found on the sensor bar.
Overall Sensor Avg
: The average voltage reported by all sensor modules on a static
sensor bar.
Feedback Sensor Avg
: The feedback voltage for use in CLFB control.
This is determined by using the Sensors for Feedback, a user adjustable operating
parameter.
Warning Setpoint
: The web voltage level at which the sensor bar will set a “Warning”
and illuminate the yellow indicator light on the end of the bar. The factory default
value is 5 kV, however this value may be user adjusted.
Alarm Setpoint
: The web voltage level at which the sensor bar will set an “Alarm” and
illuminate the red indicator light on the end of the bar. The factory default value is
20 kV, however this value may be user adjusted.
